Core Subjects

What Your Child Will Learn

God's Word explored through weekly chapel and daily life — students learn how biblical principles guide decisions and friendships.
Strong reading, writing, and grammar through diverse books and texts — building the analytical thinking middle school demands.
Instruction tailored to each student so no one is lost or bored — building deep understanding and confidence.
Hands-on exploration that ignites curiosity about the natural world while appreciating divine creation.
The past made fun and interactive — because understanding history is the key to shaping a better future.
Foreign language starts in kindergarten at SHA, not high school — Spanish continues through grade 12.
